Format and validate a URL attribute in Active Record. This is an example gem created for RailsCasts episode #301.
Add to your Gemfile and run the bundle command to install it.
gem "url_formatter"
Requires Ruby 1.9.2 or later.
Call format_url in an ActiveRecord class and pass the name of the attribute you wish to format into a URL and validate.
class Comment < ActiveRecord::Base
format_url :website
end
This will automatically add "http://" to the beginning of the website attribute upon saving if no protocol is present. It will also do validation to ensure it looks like a URL.
